About the CD:
So the truth is we actually uploaded this by accident instead of Sasha's GU009 San Francisco disc... but as it got so many plays we thought it only fair to get it back up asap. The album cover, Space Ibiza sponsorship and epic Ibiza setting for the Global Underground series felt like it had come home when this release came out. The stars were aligned, everyone was buying it, and everyone was still mesmerised by Sasha's sound unlike any other dj in the world. It was magical, dreamy, dark and epic. Listening back to it makes you want to be 19 and on a plane to Ibiza... enjoy the mix. x

Codek is the brainchild of Jean-Marie Salaun who grew up in Paris influenced by the folklore of the inner city. In 1978 he joined art rock group SpionS alongside Gregory Davidow and recorded two singles. Diving into the Paris post punk scene he met Claude Arto and designed the artwork for Claude’s single on Celluloid “Kwai Systeme / Betty Boop.” Robin Scott (M “Pop Music”) had produced the SpionS first single and wanted to collaborate further. With Claude, Jean-Marie wrote “Me Me Me”, intended for a choir, for M. Then SpionS split and Robin was off to Switzerland to record an album to follow-up his hit single. That left Jean-Marie alone in London, where he began working as Codek, a play on the brand name Kodak The “Me Me Me” single was released by MCA Records in 1980. Back in Paris, now with some studio experience, Celluloid Records hired Jean-Marie to produce records for Artefact and Les Orphelins. Over the next 2 years he began working on ideas for the next Codek single “Closer / “Tam Tam”

“Closer” started its life as an electric baseline played by Jean-Marie. Claude Arto sequenced the floating synthesizers. Laurent Grangier and Frédéric Lapierre of reggae band Immigration Act played the horns. The lyrics “Hard to say. Easy to do. We don’t need to say what we do” were a statement on creation as narration expressed Jean-Marie’s ennui, “I’m tired with it.” “Tam Tam” was inspired by Burundi drummers playing on the plaza in front of Beaubourg where the song was recorded. Jean-Marie enlisted one of the drummers from the circle, Georges Atta Dikalo, to lay down percussion for the song. The female singers were from the French Caribbean and added falsetto tribal chants. JM was part of the the African night scene in Paris, remixing Xalam’s “Kanu” and Touré Kunda's “Salaly Muhamed.” Claude achieved complex rhythmic patterns using a modular synthesizer and heavy processing. Jean-Marie recorded himself beating his chest for the thump noises. The recording of “Tam Tam” and “Closer” spanned over two years. They started on 16-track in Studio d'Auteuil, where JM blew the woofers, before resuming in Studio Centre Georges Pompidou with an added 8-track recorder. Jean-Marie was producing other bands, and a lot of this was recorded on "borrowed" studio time. The single was released in 1981 on West African Music, a tiny label from the Ivory Coast, and was re-released a year later by Island Records in the UK (where the  B-side was re-named “Tim Toum”). Both tracks were staples in the DJ sets of Beppe Loda and Daniele Baldelli, finding a spiritual home in the Cosmic scene of Italy.

Both songs have been remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The jacket is an exact replica of the 1981 edition with artwork by Angela Boy, inspired by primitive electronics and African paintings. Each copy includes an doubles-sided insert with photos and liner notes by Jean-Marie Salaun.

Closer / Tam Tam

Closer

This is a demo set I recorded with the goal of sending out to venues in the Washington, D.C. area. I'm interested in an opening gig and this demo shows my versatility and the progression that is sometimes necessary for an opener. I usually mix songs that are variations of techno, deep house, and progressive house, or sometimes a blend of those. 

Tracklist:

Maceo Plex feat. Maars - Mutant Disco [Correspondant]
Dousk feat. eSoreni - French Sauce [Proton Music]
Guy Gerber - Midnight Sketches [King Street Classics]

2018 Demo

Here's a 3 hours mix I recorded a few weeks ago inspired by the set I played at StereoBar for my 25th birthday in September. 
I hope you'll enjoy it :)

October 2018 - 3 Hours Mix

I grew up loving all sorts of electronic music, my father and I would religiously listen to the BBC Essential Mix every Friday night.

My tastes evolved from Trance into Progressive then into Progressive Breaks. At that time Phil K was one of the pioneers of the genre, pumping out classics like Lydian & the Dinosaur with Andy page and Burma with Luke Chable.

Phil was one of the reasons I decided to give up my life in the UK and move to Australia in search of something different. Maybe I'd fit in, in a place where the music I loved brought everyone together.

Phil is going through some tough times now and needs our support more than ever. 

If you're listening please take the time to read : https://www.gofundme.com/support-phil-k

This track is a tribute to Phil and those good old days of Progressive Breaks which hold a special place in my heart.

The sample you hear in the track was a few of us peaking in the Brown Alley office after Phil just schooled yet another international DJ at Sunny Side Up 😎
